[[I|tschwinge]] started writing a plugin to render [Texinfo](http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/)
inside the ikiwiki environment.
The plugin is available at <http://www.schwinge.homeip.net/~thomas/tmp/texinfo.pm>.
It's very basic at the moment, but will be improved over time.
# Issues
Conventional ikiwiki [[*htmlize*ing|plugins/write#index6h3]]
have a one-to-one mapping of input file and output file.
This can also be achieved for Texinfo files, but is somewhat
unusual there, when rendering them to HTML. In general, there
is a N-to-M mapping:
* N Texinfo input files (a main `.texi` file,
several helper files (`fdl.texi`, `version.texi`, ...), and
additional text files which are included from the main `.texi`
file, e.g. `history.texi`, `libfoo.texi`, `libbar.texi`.
* M Texinfo output files: the main `.texi` file (which `include`s
the other input files) is usually rendered into a (flat) hierarchy
of HTML files, one file per node, see the table on
<http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/#Top>
for an example.
